My water pump went out at 100,000 miles.
My coil went out at bout 75,000 miles.
My transmission went out at 165,000 miles.
Brakes needs attention every 70,000 miles.
This 4.3L Vortec engine is a strong motor for this little truck.
You will not have a problem with the motor.
It's a small truck, so don't be jealous of the big boys..
You take care of this truck, and it will return the favor...
Just curious, what happened to the transmission?
